EU ErP Certification

 EU ErP Certification



ErP certification is a certification requirement based on the ErP Directive under the EU CE marking system. The ErP Directive is a new European CE marking regulation, and as a CE marking directive, it now requires compliance along with other requirements such as the LVD Directive, EMC Directive, and RoHS Directive. Therefore, products subject to these implementation measures must consider the requirements of the ErP Directive before being exported to Europe to affix the CE marking.


The scope of ERP testing includes:


1. Energy-saving lamp ERP certification requirements: NO.244


2. AV products and IT products ERP certification requirements: NO.1275


3. TV products ERP certification requirements: NO.642


4. Set-top box ERP certification requirements: NO.107


5. Ballasts and fluorescent lamps ERP certification requirements: NO.245


6. External power supplies, adapters, and chargers ERP certification requirements: NO.278


ERP Certification Process:


1. Conformity Assessment:


• According to ERP directive requirements, manufacturers can choose one of two assessment modes for assessment: "Internal Design Controls" (ERP Directive Annex IV) or "Environmental Management Systems" (CRP Directive Annex V).


2. Compile and create Technical Documentation (TDF):


* Manufacturers must create technical documentation.


* The technical documentation should include information on design, manufacturing, operation, and final disposal of the product.


Details will be clarified through implementation measures for each product.


3. Issue a Declaration of Conformity (doc):


* Basic information


Directives and standards followed.


4. Affix the CE marking:


* Harmonized standard testing—EMC, LVD, etc.


* Affix the CE marking.


ERP Certification Cycle:


Standardly 2-3 weeks; expedited processing is available for an additional fee.

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
